Just bought it. Really a great product (as always, you never produced a mediocre content since your beginning (just thinking for the freeware for V2, V3, SP and the first products for V3), i loved them all).Thanks

Thanks a lot for the support and appreciation. Well, I think we have had a few non-stellar creations ourselves, especially at the beginning, but now we're trying to be as stylish as possible when we can't be too complex .

With a few items we weren't very happy even then, but again, we mostly looked at our own standards, trying to never compare to what was available but to what we wanted to achieve. Our ideal goal is still a bit away but there are some limits we have to deal with, especially when you have to create something that everyone should successfully use and that Poser / DAZ Studio can handle in a decent way: we need to strike a balance !

Looks fantastic, I think I would have paid full price just for the boots I shouldn't tell you that I've been distracted from my artwork in the last few months and find it hard to get back into it and lack inspiration. You might have just done it for me And I'm glad it's for V4 also since I'm a Poser user. I started with DS but at this point, I think it would be very expensive to buy it, buy Genesis, V5 and everything else I might require... I do a lot of postwork/painting after rendering. If it comes to a point that nobody creates anything for V4 anymore, I may just have to develop my painting skills a bit more and paint my own clothes.

We really hope Ava Adore can be a great source of inspiration, I must say it is for us!You're probably right on the "expensiveness" of switching to Genesis although it does have great quality and features which we hope to explore and exploit. Well, once you have the free version of D|S there's always time to check it out if you find out something interesting or want to explore (character or monster-wise, for example), especially if she becomes more Poser-compatible in the future .

This is....beyond words. You caught me off-guard a bit It does remind me of Masquerade's Eve, but this is wonderful in its own way, it's modern and classy yet tasteful As always, I'm amazed by both the modelling and texturing. And all those subtle details...

Thanks a lot that's exactly the style we were going for. This is definitely something along the lines and style of Masquerade's Eve, in fact, it's actually our Masquerade's Eve 2: they can certainly go along well !!

Somehow, Actually Ava Adore's codename was Masquerade's Eve 2, but then, Ava Adore was the name I would have loved for Masquerade's Eve: I think it better fits this new ensamble though!

We wanted to have something ready for Victoria 5 but my D|S 4 completely stopped working, that's a pity! I find she's a nice model, has a very nice shape out of the box and all the added functionality of Genesis.Perhaps if all the people that are interested in Genesis / V5 but are die hard Poser users would write Smith Micro they may be convinced to do something more on their part (if that's possible), you know, the power of the masses.Not much use to cry against DAZ, after all, if they had to stick to Poser technology, so to speak, we'd just have an advanced V4 and I doubt people would be very happy about that, after all V4 is still around and content creators are supporting her so... it's kind of win-win situation, I think .~S

Well Poser knows they dont need Daz Figures. they are improving poser even more with the new service release coming out, if they would create an attrative and versatil figure and suport that figure, Daz would be in serious trouble. the new weight maped V4 is really going to be awesome from what I have seen. This also is win win as we get a great new/revised figure for poser and Daz still make dollars off of her.I am still sad about the rift but so many hate not Gen, or V5 but DazStudio.... many more are just boycotting Daz.... Oh well I am off to play in maya/(Hex dont tell AS) I am finding that I compose in Poser 6 (yes I am so Retro...) and render and materials in PP2012...... Have a great day! I have my 3d dollars waiting on AVA!....

It's always been (mostly) Daz figures in Poser because, let's be honest, DAZ figures are the best (so far) and it's hard to find something up to par with them.We're glad about V4 weight map rigging but what about the clothes, will they be compatible / usable?

Well, I have to say I like DAZ Studio 4 very much even for working, setup etc. but the materials and rendering capabilities aren't enough to switch (at least for art), especially with SSS in Poser now.So I'll just stick with the good both can offer. As far as content creation is concerned we'll just keep supporting both as we've been doing for years .

I don't see why someone should hate a program or a figure, I doubt Genesis or V5 can hurt anyone, lol. To me, Genesis is what could make possible to have more versatility for male figures, among else, and I certainly hope to exploit that!~S

Actually Antonia Rocks, not very pretty at first but she moves like a dream, both versions, one is just rigged better by Phantom and the other is Weightmapped, she is starting to recieve much more support as well.[link]this is a comunity project being done because it can be done in poser and is concidered a better figure so we will see...

I started in DAZ and now I dont like the interface much, I dont hate it as many do I still think it is a great beginner program. once I start to rig cloth that may change though....

the Maya PoserFusion for P2012 is now out. I have spent a lot of time in the materials room lately and it and the time I spent there keeps me from ever leave poser, and with the new stuff it just gets better

Soon Antonia Polygon, Standard Version will be released in a runtime library with some basic content. This version will be usable in Poser 6/7/8 and PP/PP2010. It will also be as usable as it ever was in D/S. Other content will be available for the figure, and several versions of Antonia with alternate UV maps can be downloaded and added to the Antonia runtime.

Antonia~WM will be issued as a separate file. The finishing touches are being added to her rig and weight-maps. Antonia~WP will take advantage of the more advanced features of Poser 9 and Poser Pro 2012 while maintaining maximal compatibility with content designed for the standard Antonia. She will be issued with a texture by SaintFox, and a shader designed from the work demonstrated in these forums by BagginsBill. I hope that everyone is looking forward to this version of Antonia as much as I have been. Copyed from LMK, Antonia is an excellent figure, a lot has been put into this figure because many and I mean many people are tired of the so called DAZ monopoly with V4 and with Genisis only being DAZStudio they decided to draw a line and not support DAZ. This Figure takes full advantage of Posers abilitys that others dont. the Creaters of Antonia are also weightmapping V4 as she has never moved properly and what Daz should have done was make V5 riged for the new proper figure rigging availble since P8 and then weight maped her for poser. if they would have done this, they would not have forced a division. they still would have had Genesis but also the V5 market in full. But they did not do this, they asumed everyone would just drop poser for v5 because they believe Victoria rules, this will be there loss as many are turning different directions.

I don't think DAZ quality cannot be achieve by anyone else as far as figure creation and add-ons are concerned but, honestly, it's difficult to imagine another figure that can get as much attention and content as V4, still, different figures can definitely share the same runtime, no one says one cannot use Victoria 4 together with Antonia, together with Miki 3 and maybe Victoria 3 .

Well, I'd say that's a lot of assumptions about what DAZ planned with Genesis and V5... . Especially considering their public statements, forum are a dangerous place when they get heated by pissed off people. Smith Micro certainly never committed enough to create a counterpart for DAZ monopoly and give something high quality to Poser users, if we really want to change a bit of perspective every once in a while ...
